Bahria Town Rawalpindi Phase 5 — No Standalone RDA Line, Same Top FBR Rate
Bank branches, an Imambargah, rentals and resales in the autocomplete data — a lived-in phase with no line of its own on RDA's register.
Phase 5 has no line of its own on RDA’s register — not among the approved entries, and not among the illegal ones either. What the autocomplete data shows instead is an ordinary, lived-in phase: a bank branch, an Imambargah, and house sale/rent/plot-sale searches (4 Sep 2026).
Bahria Town Rawalpindi is a privately sponsored scheme under the ordinary Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) layout-plan/NOC regime — not a separate statutory authority the way DHA is. RDA’s own housing-societies register (checked 3 Sep 2026) carries three lines under this brand: a combined “Bahria Town (Phase-I,II&III (Partially))” approved entry over 2,368.14 Kanal at Kotha Kalan (transfer deed & bank guarantee submitted in place of mortgage deed, updated 3 Feb 2026); two separate “Bahria Town Phase-VIII” approved entries (5,954 Kanal at Shahpur and 11,545.85 Kanal at Gali); and, on the illegal list, “Bahria Town Phase VIII Extension” (Mouza Dhara, Bahria Town Expressway) plus a differently-located “Bahria Town Phase IX, VIII” at Lari Miana, Adyala Road. Phases IV, V, VI and VII do not appear as their own named line on either RDA list — on the Islamabad side, CDA’s own Zone-5 register separately carries a “Bahria Town, Phase VII” entry, which is the jurisdiction split this page exists to explain.

What the record actually says
| Fact | What the source says |
|---|---|
| RDA status | No standalone “Phase-V” line on either RDA list, checked 3 Sep 2026. Same gap as Phases 4, 6 and 7 — only the combined Phase I-III entry and the two Phase-VIII entries are named individually. |
| Search signal | Allied Bank, an Imambargah, and house-for-sale/rent and plot-for-sale queries top Phase 5’s autocomplete (4 Sep 2026) — ordinary, populated-phase signals. |
What FBR values it at — the number that decides your tax
Advance tax under §236K and §236C is computed on FBR’s notified value, not on what you pay. Almost nobody publishes these per area, so here they are, with the notification they come from.
| Category | Notified value |
|---|---|
| Residential open plot | Rs 5,509.6/sq ft |
| Commercial | Rs 16,758.4/sq ft |
| Gazette citation | S.R.O. 1728(I)/2024, pages 374–375, serials 5754–5755 |
All eight phases sit on FBR’s Rawalpindi table under S.R.O. 1728(I)/2024 (29 Oct 2024), which remains in force for every Bahria Town row — the 19 May 2026 amendment, S.R.O. 877(I)/2026, touched only the fourteen DHA serials on the same table and left Bahria untouched. Values are per square foot; Islamabad’s separate table runs per square yard — multiply by nine before comparing the two. Full page-and-serial citation for every phase: the Rawalpindi FBR table. Work your own number on the plot cost calculator.
Asking prices — what is listed, and what that is worth knowing
| Size | Asking range | Source, and what it is |
|---|---|---|
| Scheme-wide, Phases 1–7 | developed and populated | Reused from the hub page’s 2 Sep 2026 research pass, not re-pulled for Phase 5 specifically this pass. |
No independent Zameen pull scoped to Phase 5 this pass (time-boxed session, three phases prioritised). See the hub page.
The honest part
- No standalone RDA approval line. Ask which specific instrument the sponsor says covers Phase 5.
- No phase-specific asking-price sample this pass.
- One brand, eight phases with different histories — confirm which one any quote actually refers to.
What to ask before you pay
- “What RDA instrument specifically covers Phase 5?”
- “Which sector and block?”
- “Current asking prices for this street, dated?”
Against Bahria Enclave, plainly
Phase 5 reads as an ordinary, populated phase with no register line of its own and no unusual 2026 dispute attached. Bahria Enclave remains the closer, CDA-governed alternative with its compliance record published in full.
Bahria Enclave’s own location page puts Bahria Town Rawalpindi (all eight phases, as one scheme-wide figure) at roughly 44 km away, off GT Road — a different city, a different regulator, a different drive. We do not have an independently verified phase-level breakdown of that figure, so we are not splitting it further here; treat 44 km as the planning distance from the Enclave corridor regardless of which phase you are looking at.
The rest of the city, read the same way
Same four things on every one: CDA’s register badge, the notices attached to it, FBR’s notified value, and dated asking prices.

Plots available in every Bahria Enclave sector — and we buy as well as sell
From Sector A’s finished streets to Sector O’s entry tickets — 5 Marla to 4 Kanal, file to allotment to possession — we keep live options in all sixteen sectors, plus DHA Margalla Enclave ballots, files and resales. Buying, selling, or exchanging: one WhatsApp message gets you today’s real options, with verification built in before any token moves.
Phase 5, plainly
RDA's register (checked 3 September 2026) has no line item named 'Phase-V' on either its approved or illegal list. Only the combined Phase I-III entry and two Phase-VIII entries appear by name — ask the sponsor which specific approval instrument they say covers Phase 5.
Rs 5,509.6 per square foot residential and Rs 16,758.4 commercial, S.R.O. 1728(I)/2024, pages 374-375, serials 5754-5755 — the same base rate as Phases 1 through 4 and 6.
Search behaviour is consistent with it: bank branches, an Imambargah, and active house-for-sale, house-for-rent and plot-for-sale queries all appear in Google's own autocomplete for this phase (4 September 2026), which we read as signs of an ordinary lived-in phase rather than a pre-launch file.
RDA ke register mein Phase 5 ka apna alag line item nahi hai — na approved list mein na illegal list mein. Society se poochein ke unke mutabiq kaunsa specific approval instrument is phase ko cover karta hai.
